To the Foreman and Members Of the Grand Jury
for the May Term, 1887
Your committee appointed to examine the books
of the Treasurer would beg leave to report that we
have performed the duty far as the limited time
at our disposal would allow. We found the books
nicely kept and correct so far as we can judge from
the examination made The present financial
condition of the county, with its large balance of
over one hundred thousand dollars ON hand and
all obligations paid at maturity, is matter of
congratulation. Your committee would suggest
to the Grand Jury that it would be wise on its
part, in view of the fact that general audit of
the accounts of the county has not been made for
about ten years, to recommend to the County Com
missioners that competent auditor be by them
appointed with instructions to make thorough
audit of all the accounts of the county. We sug-
gest this because the time allowed by the Grand
Jury for this purpose is SO limited that it is i'm
possible to comply with the law as is contemplated.

DR.. SETH N. EASTMAN of Groton
has been appointed pension surgeon
on the board of surgeons at Wells River.
THE Grand Army of the Republic of
Wisconsin propose to establish a SOL
diers' home in that state. The state
will pay SO week for each inmate.
MAJOR r. TEMPLEToN of Williams
town has been to Washington, ID. c.,
to be examined for special examiner
of the pension office. He has not yet
received an appointment.
THE supreme court refused to grant
writ directing the state treasurer to
pay Joseph Brown 81 month for the
time he served in the navy during the
rebellion. The particulars of this case
were given in last weeks WATCHMAN.
THE Sons of Veterans in Mont
pelier made no mistake when they
named their organization Camp General
Stephen Thomas. This grand Union
officer presented that band of youths
last week with large flag. He gave
it as a legacy from himself, who braved
the shock of battle, and charged the
recipients to cherish well its silken
folds and to combat disloyalty and dis
union in whatsoever form they appear.
ALMIRA e. MEAD of Underhill wrote
to Montpelier lawyer, two years ago,
to know if she was entitled to pen
sion, and stated her case as follows:
-" 1 had three husbands, and they were
all soldiers in the late war. NV first
husband died in 1868 and was granted
a pension. Like foolish woman, in
;oI
sion, got rum in the place of love and a
home and was obliged to sue for a
divorce, which 1 procured in 1875. In
1881 l married another soldier, who
died in 1884. Can 1 get pension on
account of some of these husbands?"
The lawyer advised her to apply for
pension on account of the last husband,
if his death was caused by any disease
resulting from his army life. She made
application and has been granted pen
sion of S12 month, with about $3.50
arrears.
GEORGE G. CHASE, who served in
the Third Vermont Regiment, is the
only inmate of the Soldiers Home from
Montpelier. His disability consists of
hernia and fever and ague. We do not
understand that he has been supported
by the town, but would have been but
for his pride. He has been without
food for days rather than beg it or
apply to the town for help. He was
two years in the National Soldiers
Home in Maine. The last year he was
there his health so improved that he
was able to drive team and was paid
S13 month. He has been in Mont.
pelier and Berlin most of the time for
the last two years, hoping to receive a
pension on an old claim that had been
rejected on the ground that the hernia
for which he claimed pension existed
prior to enlistment. He has furnished
considerable testimony tending to show
his prior soundness and still hopes to
be pensioned.
